Over recent years, lightweight construction materials are changing the way some structures are designed and built with the use of steel frame systems popularly used in America, Europe, Australia & New Zealand.

Light gauge steel construction is very similar to wood framed construction in principle – the wooden framing members are replaced with thin steel sections. The light gauge steel frame is developed through a cold-formed process without the use of heat which enables to produce lightweight but high tensile steel sheets. Just because a material is light doesn’t mean it’s not sturdy.
The LGS system is a durable way to design and build strong steel framed buildings easily and efficiently as an alternative to conventional building materials used in residential, light commercial and mid-rise construction, for reason of energy efficiency, fast track, cost effective and superior behavior during earthquake.

Construction can use individual light steel components or sub frames; often prefabricated screwed panels are assembled on site using self-drilling screws to create whole building structures. Steel-framed structures are built using light gauge steel shapes to which structural cladding (cement board, gypsum board) is attached with screws.
The light gauge structure and the face materials (cement board, gypsum board) demonstrate its structural strength and fire resistance. The steel used here is coated (galvanized) to protect it from corrosion. The thickness of this coating can be varied to suit a range of environments. Typically, marine environments require the most protection and dry, arid regions the least.

Steel framing is a fast building method that helps reduce overhead costs and financial burdens as it is budget friendly. Building with a steel framing construction allows for more productivity. Compared to a wooden frame or traditional building methods, steel framing offers reduced on-site costs.
It gives you a high-quality material product that is both ecological and recyclable with a considerable decrease in pollution due to steel framing and also presents a clean site as prefabrication allows negligible steel waste and water mess.
Hence it is environment-friendly as well.
